Something else just came to mind, is your ~/.bash_profile being sourced correctly?
what does below command say?

Maybe a symlink is needed? Mozilla's method for manual installation to /opt/ recommends a symlink.
Create a symlink to the Firefox executable:
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox See link, go down to
Install Firefox from Mozilla builds

Just in regards to simplenote, as its not an official package its hard to determine what is going on there.
I am fairly certain if you run below command on simplenote it should give you a clue to how it starts, my guess is it has a symlink to /usr/bin or similar.

You may need to explicitly add waterfox to the path ?

I read that a different way.
The imagination that so entrances and entrenches us is also the tool of our destruction.

P.S. While registering human verification fails. You asked about current stable version codname. I assumed it was 'Excalibur'. I failed human verification.
So you are a bot then?

#9 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] tmp files now stored in a tempfs? Excalibur/Trixie » 2025-12-31 22:15:43
The tmpfs functionality is not mysterious, but this thread kinda is:
a) We begin with a swearing rant about Debian, rather than reading the man pages or conf file where this is all explained.
b) Two people in a row go with "I don't know", rather than just doing 'grep -r tmpfs /etc/' and finding out.
It just didnt occur to me to use grep on etc, instead i went to the kernel docs about tmpfs.
I didnt understand most of it, so left it alone less i spread fud misleading info.

#10 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] tmp files now stored in a tempfs? Excalibur/Trixie » 2025-12-31 07:56:23
/lib/init/tmpfs.sh, which is called from /etc/init.d/mountall.sh, which is illuminated by a couple of seconds with grep. I'm not sure what the big mystery here is.
How did you come to the conclusion it was a big mystery? I just dont know enough about the subject.
#11 Re: Off-topic » The future of "synthetic food" » 2025-12-30 23:30:50
Elon Musk said we will all have universal basic income in the future so we wont have to work.
Just get the AI and robots to do all the work while we eat synthetic food, live in cubes and own nothing.
#12 Re: Off-topic » The future of "synthetic food" » 2025-12-30 22:48:56
HardSun . . . Aren't we already doing that? I have seen mobile, humanoid bots that can talk and industry is already salivating at the prospect of a workforce that doesn't require a salary . . .
I suppose thats the plan, the top 1 percent dont want to have to rely on a human workforce.
In a way it could be a blessing, BUT who really wants to do slave labor in the mines or in factories making useless trinkets.
In all reality they (robots) will never be used for anything that really benefits humans in the long run.
#13 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] tmp files now stored in a tempfs? Excalibur/Trixie » 2025-12-30 22:42:17
fsmithred, you can tweak tmpfs settings in /etc/default/tmpfs
But yeah im not sure where the hard coded settings for tmpfs are
#14 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] tmp files now stored in a tempfs? Excalibur/Trixie » 2025-12-30 22:33:01
I was a bit confused with this as well, but as it says "memory is only used when files are actually created in /tmp".
From wiki.
The idea behind tmpfs is similar in concept to a RAM disk, in that both provide a file system stored in volatile memory; however, the implementations are different. While tmpfs is implemented at the logical file system layer, a RAM disk is implemented at the physical file system layer. In other words, a RAM disk is a virtual block device with a normal file system running on top of it, while tmpfs is a virtual file system without any underlying block device.
#15 Re: DIY » I'm making a note-taking app » 2025-12-30 01:21:01
Looks neat.
Will it have the ability to format text or just very similar to say leafpad in functionality ?
I like the tree view idea.
My notes are a mix of markdown + pandoc + html using vim as the editor.
I like to just have all my notes in one easy html file that has a table of contents that anchors to the different notes in the same page instead of numerous markdown and html files everywhere.
I tried plain text before but im a sucker for nicely formatted html/css.
Anyhow i digress, good luck with the notes app.

I think it's time to bring this old science-fiction movie to the attention of many more people:
Colossus: The Forbin Project
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064177/
I have been meaning to watch this, thanks for the reminder.
I watched a short review on this on youtube and apparently it was a flop during its release due to other box office films at the time.
But im betting it would be a popular classic these days.
#17 Re: Off-topic » The future of "synthetic food" » 2025-12-30 01:08:05
The only logical next step is to produce synthetic humans, thus doing away with the need for real humans.
A brave new world indeed!

IMO, just shut it down already, its a failed experiment.
Much like social media is.

As long as there is an AI kill switch being implemented in firefox for the AI, ill keep using firefox.
I already have AI disabled, atleast i think i have with below user.js settings.

user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);

#22 Re: Devuan » Devuan 6 Extremely Poor Quality Control. » 2025-12-16 06:34:31
1) Polkit complaints the first start (someone put Mate Polkit together with XFCE Polkit in the default install)
2) Untitled Window every boot.
3) What kind of devs release untested OS like that? Seriously, do the devs NOT even try/test them?
4) not to mention the Firefox system bar having to be there taking spaces and no way to turn if off.
Instead of patronizing remarks in your OP you could have asked how to resolve these issues the right way and help improve devuan for everybody.

@Greenjeans
Thanks for the explanation, ill start using that combo from now on.
Im not on the computer enough for dpms to do its thing, at most i get slock and xautolock to lock the screen after being away for 15 min. I dont know why, im the only person in the house lol, i could probably remove it.
#24 Re: Installation » Post installation annoyances » 2025-12-13 23:06:02
I don't use a power manager in the mini's I make, nor in my own installs, I have a small script that runs once on startup that turns it all off.
#! /bin/sh xset dpms 0 0 0 xset -dpms xset s off
Im curious about this, ive always used below code to disable DPMS and prevent screen from blanking, what is yours doing differently?
xset s off -dpms#25 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Vendefoul Wolf based on latest Devuan Excalibur » 2025-12-12 05:30:14
